Taipa Village Cultural Association celebrates this Easter season for a third consecutive year by collaborating with well-known Macau brand character Galo, a cheerful Portuguese rooster who represents luck, happiness, love and hope.
The fun-filled programme boosts activities for families, children and young adults, including an Easter orienteering competition, Easter egg painting, face painting, an Easter egg hunt and a Taipa Village discovery experience.
“This year, we are excited to partner with Galo to theme Taipa Village Easter activities with
lively and colourful events that will boost the joy of the festival,” says Pamela Chan, Director at Taipa Village Cultural Association. “By working closely with designated merchants and local community partners, we aim to make the Easter celebration more meaningful for residents and visitors, giving them a special opportunity to learn about Taipa Village’s unique history and experience its traditional culture.”
The three special Easter activities are as follows:
